SystemStak® Valves

Build a Compact, Cost-Effective, Reliable HydraulicSystem with Vickers SystemStak� Valves

Reduces System SpaceRequirementsSystemStak valves make compacthydraulic systems in which specificfunction valves are “sandwich” mountedbetween a directional valve and astandard mounting surface.

Reduce CostSystemStak valves eliminate intervalvepiping and leak-prone tube and pipeconnections. Installed cost is less thanwhen using conventional valves.

Versatile and Easy to InstallSystemStak valves have all the internalpassages necessary to serve thedirectional valve topping them. Mountingsurfaces and port patterns are tointernational standards: any valveconforming to ISO 4401 size 03;ANSI/B93.7M size D03; NFPA-D03;CETOP 3; and DIN 24340, NG6mounting interface can be used withthese SystemStak valves.

Rugged and ReliableInternal working parts are produced fromhardened steel and mounted in ductile(spheroidal graphite) iron bodies.Excellent reliability is ensured. Workingparts are accessible without removingvalves from an assembled stack.

SystemStak Systems... Easy toUnderstand, Easy to DesignSystemStak circuitry is best shownusing slightly different symbols thanthose for traditional valve configurations.Each SystemStak symbol has the samebasic form and size as shown in fig. 1.

Figure 1

P T AB

Figure 2

P T AB

For ease of understanding, rememberthe directions of flow for each line, andthat all four flow paths pass througheach valve (see fig. 2). For clarity,directional valves are drawn vertically inSystemStak circuit diagrams (see fig. 3).

Figure 3

P T AB

Each station (valve stack) is acombination of functions. Whendesigning and assembling SystemStakvalves, care must be taken to ensurethat they interact as required by stackingthe functions in the correct sequence(fig. 4 is an example).

Figure 4

P T AB

Relief valves should normally bepositioned next to the mounting surface(i.e. at the bottom of the stack). Whenboth a flow control and a pilot operatedcheck valve are required, it isrecommended that the flow control valvebe between the check valve and theactuator to prevent check valve chatter.

General DescriptionThese two-stage adjustable pressurerelief valves limit the maximum pressurein the line(s) controlled by the integralrelief valve elements.

Pressure adjustment options of controlknob (with or without keylock) orscrew/locknut design are available. Thetwo-stage operation is basically identicalto long-established balanced pistonvalves, described in detail in VickersIndustrial hydraulics manual.

Pressure Controls: Counterbalance, Sequence and Pressure Reducing ValvesDGMR(1)-3-4*DGMX*-3-4*

General DescriptionThese single-stage valves operate bythe application of pressure on the end ofthe valve spool, acting against a springwhich is loaded by means of theadjustment mechanism.

In the counterbalance and sequencevalves the spool is offset by the springsuch that flow cannot pass through thevalve. When the force exerted by thepilot pressure on the spool end exceedsthe force of the main spring, the spool ismoved to allow flow through the valve.

In the pressure reducing valve the flowpath is normally open and is closed asthe pilot pressure exceeds the setting ofthe valve. Excessive pressure in thereduced-pressure line is prevented by apressure relieving function.

Pressure adjustment options of controlknob (with or without keylock) orscrew/locknut design are available.

General DescriptionThese valves provide pilot operatedcheck functions in one or both servicelines (A or B), the operating pilot supplycoming from the opposite service line.Thus with pressure in one service linethe check valve in the other service linewill be open (subject to system/actuatorpressures being correct for the valvearea ratios).

A 3:1 area ratio of pilot piston to checkvalve seat is supplemented by anoptional 10:1 decompression feature.

For flow restriction in P or T lines (wherereverse free flow is not required) modelswithout check valves are available.

Mounting Bolts,Subplates and ManifoldBlocksMounting BoltsThe length of mounting bolt used toinstall a SystemStak assembly isdependent on the number of valvesbeing used, plus the length needed formounting other valves in the assembly,such as:– solenoid operated, or other type of

directional valve– tapping plate– blanking or crossover plate.

Vickers offers a large selection of boltkits (one bolt kit for these SystemStakvalves comprises 4 bolts) in metric andinch sizes as listed. To determine yourneeds, use the following guide for boltlength calculation.

Further Information

A = Bolt clamp length in directional valve, blankingplate, crossover plate, etc.

B = Height of intermediate valve stack, comprisingVickers SystemStak valve(s) plus tapping plates, etc.

C = Depth of thread engagement in sub-plate/ manifold block:8/10 mm (0.3/0.4�), valid for:315 bar (4500 psi) when using cast iron or steel subplates/manifold blocks, or 210 bar (3045 psi) when using Vickers aluminium alloy manifold blocks.

L = Required bolt length; select from the table.

Notes1. Bolts should be torqued to 7-9 Nm (63-80 lbf in)

with threads lubricated.2. If not using Vickers bolt kits, bolts must be to

Grade 12.9 (ISO 898) or better.
